Interest in the Turin Shroud continues to the present day even
though it was finally carbon dated in 1988 and shown not to be of
an age consistent with Christ's burial. Scientifically, the age of
the shroud cloth is of little consequence, but to the general
public, it is of considerable significance.
The author Harry E. Gove is a co-inventor of accelerator mass
spectrometry and was responsible for its use in establishing
whether the Turin Shroud could have been Christ's burial cloth.
Relic, Icon or Hoax?: Carbon Dating the Turin Shroud presents an
eyewitness account of the events that culminated in the final
determination of the age of the linen cloth of the Turin Shroud and
some of the subsequent reactions to the results. The book discusses
the application of accelerator mass spectrometry to the carbon
dating of the Turin Shroud using samples only a few square
centimeters in area and weighing only a few tens of milligrams.
